My Kid Loses It Over Everything — And I'm Losing It Too
You've done the warnings. You've offered the choices. You've explained, consequences and tried your best to keep it calm and somehow, your child is still falling apart over the wrong cup, the sock that feels weird, the toast that was cut the wrong way. And if you're honest? You're kind of falling apart too.
In this episode, Raelee digs into what's actually happening underneath those outsized meltdowns and it's not what most parenting advice will tell you. Through the stories of three real families (a four-year-old after a new sibling arrived, a deeply sensitive seven-year-old, and a nine-year-old who saved all his big feelings for home), she unpacks why it's never about the sock and what it IS about. You'll walk away with three simple orientations to shift the conditions in your home, a reframe on tears that might genuinely surprise you, and permission to stop fighting the symptom and start addressing the cause.
Because your child isn't broken. And neither are you.
